• Identify collocations used in a selection.

UNDERSTAND
What are collocations?
Collocations are two or more words that often go together naturally in English.

For example, you shouldn’t say, “A big rain will hit the city tomorrow.” But you should say,
“A heavy rain will hit the city tomorrow.”
You shouldn’t use “big rain” in a sentence but, “heavy rain” because that sounds natural and right.

Another example, you shouldn’t say, “They will make a party tonight.” But you should say,
“They will have a party tonight. Have a party is the correct collocation because they are words that
sound together naturally.

Look at these examples!

1. have a good time
Let’s go to the beach and have a good time!
Meaning: to enjoy

2. get a job
I can’t get a job because of this Pandemic.
Meaning: to apply for a work and get hired

Key Points

• Hyponymy is the lexical relation in which the meaning of one word is included in the meaning of
another (e.g. “Daffodil” is a hyponym of “flower”).

• When we consider hyponymous connections, we are essentially looking at the meaning of words
in some type of hierarchical relationship.

• When the meaning of one form is included in the meaning of another, relationship is described as
hyponymy.
